Hardware I accidentally shorted my R joycon battery connector.

You should never bypass a fuse. You could start a fire.

i remember when i was young on pinball professionnal short fuse ( this is why i'm an electronician now ) on a 3.3v circuit with short fuse i really think you will destroy the main component but a fire?????????????????????????????????

I exaggerate for effect, unless your main component is the battery. Plus, Beavis is hilarious.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! It worked! I have one question though, how does this actually work? Also, hypothetically, if I were to short it again, what would happen then? Not that I would! ;D

Unfortunately because of a failing soldering station, I ended up lifting the component a bit, but I made sure it got a good connection by pretty much covering it in solder before putting it back together

Thanks again for the help! And thanks to the other repliers!

Proud to listen this , now don't short it again lol cause we short the fuse if you make a mistake it will domage another thing

sorry for reviving this thread, but I'm a total noob to soldering so how exactly did you fix this? bridging what to what or? i saw the picture bandicoot posted but it didn't make sense to me, what exactly did you strap? i assume you used magnet wire but what was at the end of it?

Usually a short circuit is the end for devices, even if they work after that, you need to think about a new one...

He opened it up. That would void the warranty right?

Actually, no, that doesn't hold up in court. Companies have largely stopped putting "warranty void if opened" stickers on things, because putting it on a sticker does not make it so. They still use stickers to see if people have opened stuff, so they can try to argue opening it caused the issue, but they do have to actually reasonably prove that you caused the problem.
